I guess I'm late transfering this over from the old thread. I'm going to follow a couple of other folks lead and use Fastolfe's rating system. Also, since I've read a few short stories (about 4-5 chapters eac), I'll count those a 1/2 a book (so 2 short stories = 1 book).

RATINGS SCALE = the book is a turd, avoid at all costs = not sure what to make of it = okay book = good book, recommended = great book, highly recommended

I'm not good at rating/ranking so assume if its on the list at all its 'readable' which mean enjoyable to a degree.
Also I'm starting new to avoid trying to figure out which books were read before/after Jan 1st.

I'm posting to mark my place. Ticker shows progress. I'm actually keeping track on calibre and trying to figure how to import list here. Any insight or help would be appreciated.
thanks and happy reading
Toni

Nobody answered me yet as to whether audiobooks and/or graphic novels count. I'll delete these if they don't, though I will be woefully behind, my attn. span is terrible these days. The ones I have finished, I can reccomend, because I have not listed the books or audiobooks that I have started then abandoned because they didn't capture me...

There was a discussion early on about whether audio books count, and I believe the consensus was yes; I don't know about graphic novels. There was also discussion of minimum number of pages per book--I think it was 150.

But, really, there's nothing official about this; you can decide for yourself what counts and what doesn't. Most of us are just challenging ourselves and keeping track of what we read.

Thanks! One of the reasons I got my eReader (Kobo), besides the fact it was on sale, was my hope it will help break my audiobook addiction. I used to love to sit and read. Still do, if I can make myself be still long enough.
